At $4,138, the <a href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">monthly cost of assisted living</a> in Rocky Mount sits between the state ($4,451) and national ($4,000) averages. This type of senior care is priced somewhat higher in other moderately sized Virginia cities, including Staunton ($4,250), Charlottesville ($4,577) and&nbsp;Blacksburg ($4,695). Not surprisingly, assisted living is significantly more expensive in the capital city of Richmond, where the rate is $5,049 per month. Only Harrisonburg ($4,100) and Lynchburg ($3,695) have lower monthly costs than Rocky Mount. Note: Data for senior care costs in Rocky Mount wasn’t available, so data for the nearest city, Roanoke, was used instead.

Assisted Living Costs in Rocky Mount

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Costs for senior care in Rocky Mount vary dramatically depending on the type of care needed and where it’s provided. Monday-to-Friday daytime care in an adult day health services group setting average only $1,571 per month, while 24-hour skilled care in a residential nursing facility costs over five times as much at $8,030. The supervision and room and board provided in an assisted living community is almost half the cost of nursing home care, but $375 to $750 more expensive than homemaker and home health aide services. While these appear to be significant savings, they may be quickly erased when monthly household expenses are added on to the service-hours-only rates&nbsp;for&nbsp;in-home care.

Rocky Mount residents aged 65 or older in need of long-term care can qualify for Medicaid coverage if they’re U.S. citizens or legal aliens and have $2,313 or less in monthly income and a maximum of $2,000 in countable assets. Medicaid considers all sources of income when determining eligibility, including wages, pensions, Social Security and disability payments, and investment income. Most assets also count, including cash, bank account balances, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds and investment real estate. A limited number of assets are excluded, such as personal effects, one vehicle, a primary home valued at less than $585,000, household goods and irrevocable burial trusts.
